Magic Thursday ~ TAINTED ~ Enemies to Lovers + Giveaway!

Four years ago a tough Roman centurion marched into my mind and heart and took over my muse (not that I heard her complaining too hard...) He was searching for his Druid princess and that story became my first published full length book, Forbidden.

Today I'm delighted that the fourth book set in my mystical Roman/Druid world, Tainted, has been released. In the first three books the heroines were natives of Cymru, fighting against the Roman invaders (and losing their hearts to them too!) In Tainted I mixed things up a bit, and the heroine, Antonia, is a Roman with patrician blood in her veins. And she falls for a man determined to eliminate all trace of the Eagle from his beloved land.

To celebrate the release of Tainted I'm participating in a fabulous Cover Reveal Blog Tour. Enter the contest below to be in with the chance of winning the Grand Prize :-)

Blurb

A
dangerous love that Rome
will never allow…

Driven
by the knowledge he failed to protect his king and embittered at losing the
woman he loves, Celtic warrior Gawain despises the lust he feels for the
beautiful Roman patrician, Antonia. She is everything he’s never wanted in a
woman, yet she ignites his passion like no other. Despite the danger of
discovery he embarks on an illicit liaison with her, determined to uncover the
reason for the infinite sorrow that haunts her eyes.

Newly
arrived in Britannia from Rome, Antonia is inexplicably drawn to the cold,
tough Celt whose touch stirs a desire she long thought died at the hands of her
brutal former husband. With Gawain she learns the pleasure of sex and his
unexpected tenderness thaws her frozen heart. But she hides a deadly secret
that could be her undoing, and knows her growing feelings for him can lead
nowhere. Yet when a shadow from her past threatens her future Antonia is torn
between the Empire of her birth and betraying Gawain, the man she’s grown to
love.

Inside
Scoop: This medieval romance
dabbles a wee bit in the paranormal.

Christina loves writing dark tales of tough, sexy warriors
who are brought to their knees by their heroines. A mystical touch of fantasy
or paranormal usually weaves its way through her stories, although strangely
enough this wasn’t her intention when she first starting writing her
Roman/Druid romances. But when ancient gods and goddesses get involved, it’s
best just to go with the flow :-)

She is published by Ellora’s Cave and Berkley Heat and has
dipped her toe in the indie pub waters. She is a member of the Romance Writers
of Australia, Romance Writers of America, the DarkSide Down Under Group Blog
and Historical Hearts Group Blog.

Christina is an ex-pat Brit who now lives in sunny Western
Australia with her family. She is also owned by three
gorgeous cats who are convinced the universe revolves around their needs. They
are not wrong.
